From rjbs-perl-abe at lists.manxome.org Tue Sep 6 19:32:50 2005 From: rjbs-perl-abe at lists.manxome.org (Ricardo SIGNES) Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2005 22:32:50 -0400 Subject: [ABE.pm] a meeting! it's a miracle! Message-ID: <20050907023250.GL10481@manxome.org> It has been so long since our last meeting that I'm not even going to look it up and find out how long, because that would be depressing. I am declaring that an EMERGENCY BEER DRINKING EVENT will be held on Wednesday, September 21st. I will set up headquarters in the back room of J.P. McGrady's at 18:30 and I will remain there as long as is needed to perform vital business: 1. drink beer 2. eat dinner 3. talk about Perl (and Python (and Ruby (and Lisp))) 4. plan future ABE.pm business including new recurring meetings 5. plan the "Perl for Shell Jockeys" talk for LVLUG You can let me know if you want to come, but come what may, I will be there. (So will John. Do you really want the /new guy/ to make it when you don't? That's sad.) -- rjbs -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I'm thinking about it--my biggest interest would be getting some people interested in helping with the askSam/TWiki clone I'd like to build. Anybody interested enough to want to hear more about it? I am posting about it on the lvlug list, and I am considering (vacillating?) among a lot of possible approaches, including some that might be done in Ruby or Lisp (and some that might involve C++ and/or C). I can copy/forward some of the old lvlug posts here if anybody is interested. Or, you can look in the archives for a thread with the subject: askSam/TWiki Clone (Project?) (the most recent thread on the subject)--looking in the archives now--ahh, here's the first post in that thread--http://www.thelinuxlink.net/pipermail/lvlug/2005-August/014838.html. I had planned (and am still strongly leaning) to use nedit as the "embedded" editor for the project, partly because it's my favorite editor but also because I've written some useful macros in it (folding on twiki marked-up headings, and searching in a multi-record file for records satisfying multiple search criteria (boolean)). Still, since I started that thread, I have become aware of all the emacs-wiki stuff and in particular the file-wiki, which sounds (without much investigation so far) like the frontend of the project I want to build (with (perhaps) one exception, below) Hence, an alternate description of the project might be a file-wiki front end (with local content storage) for a TWiki backend (with the primary content storage--i.e., the local content storage might be considered a mirror of the TWiki content). One more constraint (which tends to rule out emacs wiki, imho), is that I want a system usable by (my/your) childen, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, etc. Randy Kramer From rjbs-perl-abe at lists.manxome.org Wed Sep 21 09:58:51 2005 From: rjbs-perl-abe at lists.manxome.org (Ricardo SIGNES) Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2005 12:58:51 -0400 Subject: [ABE.pm] meeting tonight! (?) Message-ID: <20050921165851.GE31197@manxome.org> This is just a reminder that John and I will be at McGrady's tonight at 18:30 to drink some beers and talk about Perl (or Ruby (or Python (or Lisp, by the looks of these parens))). McGrady's serves Delirium Tremens, the world's best beer. -- rjbs -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
